The New York Times bestselling author of The Forgotten Room and Deep Storm is back with a new thriller that follows the trail of a killer who cannot exist . . . featuring Jeremy Logan, the renowned investigator of the supernatural and fantastic.

Legends, no matter how outlandish, are often grounded in reality. This has been the guiding principle behind the exhilarating career of Jeremy Logan, the "enigmalogist"—an investigator who specializes in analyzing phenomena that have no obvious explanation—previously seen in The Forgotten Room, The Third Gate, and Deep Storm. Logan has often found himself in situations where keeping an open mind could mean the difference between life and death, and that has never been more true than now. Logan travels to an isolated writers' retreat deep in the Adirondacks to finally work on his book when the remote community is rocked by the grisly discovery of a dead hiker on Desolation Mountain. The body has been severely mauled, but the unusual savagery of the bite and claw marks call into question the initial suspicions of a wild bear attack. When Logan is asked to help investigate, he discovers no shortage of suspects capable of such an attack—and no shortage of locals willing to point the finger and spread incredible rumors. One rumor, too impossible to believe, has even the forest ranger believing in werewolves. As Logan gets to know the remote deep-woods landscape, including a respected woman scientist still struggling with the violent loss of her father in these very woods, Logan realizes he's up against something he has never seen before. His most action-packed and white-knuckled novel to date, Full Wolf Moon is the perfect combination of exotic locales, provocative science, and raw action that make for a deeply entertaining Lincoln Child blockbuster.

About the Author

LINCOLN CHILD is the New York Times bestselling author of The Forgotten Room, The Third Gate, Terminal Freeze, Deep Storm, Death Match, and Utopia, as well as coauthor, with Douglas Preston, of numerous New York Times bestsellers, most recently Crimson Shore. He lives with his wife and daughter in Morristown, New Jersey.

The protagonist goes to a retreat in the Adirondacks for the solitude he needs to complete a paper he’s writing. By an amazing coincidence, an old college friend is a forest ranger in this remote area and, even more of a stretch, hears he’s in this cloistered private enclave and contacts him for help in tracking down an apparent werewolf that’s been racking up bodies. He stumbles around, discovering almost nothing that isn’t outright handed to him. Even when a frightened witness to strange happenings surreptitiously contacts him to report strange noises and lights, he has no questions about details or elaboration. The inanity lurches on till the all-too-obvious ending. As example of that, the ranger rolls up on a scene of the beast trying to bust its way into a car to get at the terrified passenger and is killed. The passenger says that the ranger exited his vehicle and the creature was upon him before he could draw his gun. Say what? This monster has been brutally tearing people apart, limb from limb, you come upon it in full attack mode and you get out of your vehicle without drawing your weapon? Oh please.

This is an unimaginative retread of the hackneyed werewolf tale and has all the earmarks of a writer who dashed something off for a quick buck. The characters are thin and the plot is simplistic. Don’t waste your time.

I have read every book written by Lincoln Child (as well as those co-authored with Douglas Preston) and been a fan for the last 20+ years. I especially enjoy those in the Jeremy Logan series and eagerly await them once announced. In spite of some critical reviews for this one, I read to be entertained and that is what this book did for me. While I’m not into books with a werewolf theme, I’ll term this a semi-werewolf one, so I was not distracted. I was immediately immersed into the story with each chapter pulling me to the next. It’s written in a fast paced yet relaxed style and akin to sleuthing a mystery to its conclusion. I finished the book over a 2 day period. Whatever Lincoln Child (or with his partner) writes next, I’ll gladly read without hesitation.

Let me add the good news first. The book is well written and the characters were interesting and we spent some time getting to know them. The book moved at a steady pace and we had upstate New York described in some details and especially the mountains and deep woods. That is all positive. To me the weakness was that a little bit past the middle of the book it became very apparent who the villain was.It was just clear as a bell.

Now I thought "maybe he is tricking us, there are two other characters that could be the villain. Maybe he is leading us down a primrose path and will give us a twist at the ending." But no, there was no last moment twist where you could say "I didn't see that coming."

So, I enjoyed the book, and if you do not read a lot of mysteries perhaps the ending won't be so apparent to you. I read them all the time and this one had no surprises.

I was very disappointed in this book because I love the author and his other books. It was slow reading and the climax took forever to build. I cannot recommend this book to others unless you have no other books to read. If that's the case, take a walk outside.

Interesting and chilling story line, well told and vivid. The story ends abruptly and left me with wondering about this and that......

I know this author and Douglas Preston primarily from their Pendergast series, each of which I find totally freaky but satisfying.

I think Child when writing solo is superior to Preston doing likewise. I gave up on Preston half-way through his "monkey god" and "monster of florence" books. "Monster dragged on and on -=- and then"Monkey God" was full of information and detail of little importance to me, anyhow, in the narrative.

But this review is about Full Wolf and I thoroughly enjoyed it albeit with points mentioned above.

Child's creation, Jeremy Logan, keeps getting better. This book fleshed out his character more fully. His strengths and weaknesses are exposed. His thought processes are truly unique. The plot is also a very unusual take on the traditional Wolfman concept. I like the fact that Child balances action, plot development, character development, character thought processes and action so well. The action in the last chapter is riveting and scary. Cannot wait for the next Logan book.

I like this author very much, and he did not disappoint this time either. I also listened to the audio book through the library prior to order the novel on Kindle. I did this, because I know I will enjoy reading the book more than listening, because I did not care for the reader who read for the audio book. The story was great, and even though I figured out who was the "bad guy" before the end, it was well written.
